[Telemedicine for patients with cardiac implants : Insights into everyday practice of remote monitoring in Germany in 2022].

Background: As telemedical structures continues to be developed in the German healthcare system, remote monitoring is becoming increasingly important to ensure comprehensive, outpatient, and tailored care. The national quality assurance measure "DOQUVIDE-Documentation of quality in the assessment of vital parameters by implanted devices" is used to provide insight into everyday care for patients with telemedicine-enabled devices in Germany.

Methods: DOQUVIDE is a measuring instrument for recording outpatient remote monitoring for patients with implanted pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), cardiac resynchronization therapy with a pacemaker (CRT-P), CRT defibrillator (CRT-D) devices and event recorder.

Acute left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion is associated with a high mortality rate. The majority of patients with this clinical condition die suddenly or from cardiogenic shock. We report a case of cardiogenic shock resulting from acute main coronary occlusion.
